Voltage range: 1.475 V - 1.55 V Come on now... Anything beyond 2V would kill a chip dead in a second. No matter what the fabrication process.
CPU runs at 30c, 36c standard web surfing and and can run as high as 40c. My computer case has 2 additional fans plus the standard 2. This is a custom rig not your run of the mill P4 store bought computer. RedSpider
Artic Silver is a bit old school, its not as effective as newer pastes and has the big negative that it conducts electricity very well. The result being, if you accidentally get a smidgen where its not meant to be you can damage the CPU or motherboard! This can be easily done when using too much as well. The newer good pastes (search online) are actually more effective and much, much safer as they aren't electrically conductive (but excellent heat conductors)
I know that, but there's no way your voltage is at 3.3v That would kill your chip dead in a nanosecond.
Ummm 3.3 volts is pure insanity god damn.... I mean usually normal chips don't even go over 1.80 volts at all lol maybe on a I7 cause they're outta this world....
Smorgan you're being silly now. The newer the CPU (and smaller the die) the LOWER the voltage. His voltage is NOT 3.3v its 1.39v.
65nm go to 1.5Vcore whithout any problem, if you don t know that you should study first (no disrespect).
None taken but yea your bound to blow out the CPU and motherboard if you put that much juice into it... @hazar: Pretty much what I was sayin is that no OC'ed chip goes over 1.80 Volts and yes I would agree that the newer the chip the more energy efficient it should be... and will be....
He was talking to me. Much disrespect taken, You think I don't know that? Emphasis on MODERN. as in 32nm and 45nm chips. 65nm is old! 45nm the limit is about 1.4v I should study first? Rich.
You say "1.8V is to match cpu nowadays, is up to 1.4v" that is on a 90mn you talking, and now you say 32mn and 45mn is up to 1.4v. From your post it s sems like you are new in overklocking, but still think you now best. I think you are a poor moderator, you need to learn something from Daz he shows respect from us normal people. goodbye....
CPU: AMD Athlon64 X2 4400+ 2.3Ghz Though i am planning to upgrade my PC later this year to a AMD Six-core CPU.
What are you talking about? Learn from Daz? Get stuffed. I've been overclocking for years, it's you who doesn't know. 45nm voltage safety range is pretty much 1.4v really, for Intel based chips. 65nm Intels are specced to 1.5v typically and can go higher 90mm can usually go 1.6 to 1.7 easily 130mm usually use 1.8 to 1.9 I was talking about MODERN cpus, as in 45nm. Can you not understand that?
I dont have time to discuss with childs, but i dont like that you tell people things that isent true! stick to your poor software programs.
